Benjamin Netanyahu has called on citizens of Iran to push for political change in their nation. Speaking during a meeting with officials from Israel Ministry of Health, the Israeli leader said the future of Iran ultimately rests in the hands of its people.

Netanyahu stated that Israel’s broader objective is to see Iranians free themselves from what he described as oppressive leadership in Tehran. According to him, real change must come from within the country through the actions of its citizens.

The Israeli prime minister also claimed that measures taken against Iran are putting significant pressure on the country’s leadership. He suggested that ongoing political and strategic actions are weakening the current ruling system.

His comments come at a time of rising tensions between Israel and Iran. Analysts say the long-standing rivalry between the two nations continues to influence security and political dynamics across the Middle East.
